About winemaker

The newly established U Dvou Lip Winery farms 35 hectares of vineyards near the village of Hýsly and focuses on the production of organic and appellation wines. When growing grapes, great emphasis is placed on the careful treatment of the unique landscape in this picturesque corner of Slovácko. The dominant feature of the vineyards in the foothills of the Chřibý Mountains is the statue of St. John of Nepomuk. This place, and the story of Joan and great love associated with it, inspired the band Čechomor to compose the song Johančiny tears.

Basic characteristics of wine
